As for what’s included in this year’s game, EA has promised it’s more community-driven than ever before. As a result, it refines a lot of pain points from recent years, like AI defender positioning, improved goalkeepers, and more responsive dribbling. It's already seen some sizeable patches to adjust gameplay based on continued feedback, too.

You can pick between Competitive preset, which features similar gameplay to what’s come before, or a more realistic-feeling Authentic option that’s closer to the real game. Player Archetypes are also new, letting your player grow into the next world superstar by following a rough stats template.

Live Challenges keep Manager Career fresh, while you can also see managers move clubs for the first time ever.

, Ricky Frech gave the game 7 out of 10 and said, “EA Sports FC 26’s on-pitch gameplay is the best it's been in a long time, but its overly aggressive Season Pass is also EA at its most money-hungry yet.”

Playing offline in Career modes helps sidestep that issue, though, and hey - you can use the 50% you've saved on Ultimate Team points, right? RIGHT?
